We had a pretty fabulous January - we went on a romanitc trip to Bora Bora for our twentieth wedding anniversary and then as a family went to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.
We also squeezed in a really fun afternoon and evening in Singapore, as we transited.
Singapore - where even the airport is fun!
We also got unexpectedly offloaded in Auckland, so I've now been to New Zealand as well.
I swam with sharks (plenty of them) and both Stingrays and the majestic Mantas. A highlight was a shark playing with me on the paddle board, swimming along side and then in front of me, chasing fish into shore. Alas she left before I could grab my camera.
I saw plenty of sunrises and sunsets, both of which elate me.
I managed to squeeze in two shows for the Festival of Sydney and Field Day (As a mum and non-drug user, PLEASE start pill testing!!) and George Ezra.
So my January will be pretty hard for me to beat...but lets see what I can do, shall we?

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary and I am so jealous of the beautiful blue sea and beaches. I’d swap that for a day on Leiden 😉
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, when my husband chose Tahiti my first thought was 'I'd rather go to Iceland!' but there you go. Beauty (and adventure) is in the eye of the beholder!
DeleteSo very beautiful! And happy anniversary.

Great shots of these wonderfully exotic places, Lydia! I wish you many many more happy anniversaries.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking part in the Travel Tuesday meme.
Really charming and inviting images!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great vacation you had!! Thanks for sharing some of it with us!! Swimming with sharks sounds thrilling!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove the view of that bridge! Two of my study friends were from Singapore - from what they told me, everything in that country is high-performance:)
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea! When we were there, there was a headline on the front page of the newspaper about the trains and I thought there must have been a crash with fatalities but one was 10 minutes late because of a tech issue and they had to hand out notes at the station for people to give to work (which they could do immediately!). A slightly late train was so shocking and horrifying that it was the lead story!
DeleteI like #11 the best. Fantastic pastel hues and silhouettes.
ReplyDeleteBora Bora looks just incredible! Thanks for sharing your travels with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous trips you took.
ReplyDeleteVisting from Skywatch Friday!
